The requests you see from your other friends should appear and work just like the requests you send to them. When a request is accepted, a friendship essence is created and sent to the requester, with the only limitation being that you can only receive 5 essences per 24-hour period, which turns over at the same time your calendar bonus and daily dungeon advance to the next day.
Each request should appear to all of your friends, even if they have already sent an essence previously during the same 24-hour period, unless you have already received 5 essences. If you’ve received all 5 essences for the day, your requests should appear to your friends at the turn-over time.
That said, the system (if not the friends themselves) can be a little flaky. I seem to get my best results when I send a request as close to the turn-over time as possible, which for me is 4:00pm Pacific Standard Time. If I send my request early in the day (after already getting the 5 for the current 24-hour period), the response for the next day seems to be more lackluster. I think the game “forgets” some requests if they are suppressed by the daily limit for too long, but I think that’s more of a glitch than a set time-out.
Also, some times I’ve noticed that my friends list is empty even though I’m logged in to Facebook, and I need to exit and re-start the game to bring them back. It’s possible that sending a request when this occurs might not get through to anyone.
